Microsoft has now announced that it will be adding Kaizala Pro to Office 365 commercial plans worldwide in the coming months. Kaizala Pro is already available as part of Office 365 commercial plans, or as a standalone purchase, in 28 markets around the world.

Kaizala was originally started as a Microsoft Garage project in India. During the pilot phase, more than 30 government departments and over 70,000 users in the AP State Government in India used Microsoft Kaizala for day-to-day work. Realizing its potential, Microsoft officially launched Kaizala as a standalone product offering in India last year. Microsoft later launched its enterprise version, Kaizala Pro, which allows organizations to have full administrative control of their groups.
